U2 - How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb - Love It
4 of 4 found this helpful This latest release from one of the greatest bands of all time could just be their best. While the Joshua Tree is already a classic and some of the older U2 singles are arguable their best individual songs, How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb has me hooked. Some thoughts on each song:
Vertigo - Awesome and vintage U2. They opened the concert I saw with this one, and the album opens with it. Lot's of energy, lots of Bono. Just a great song.
Miracle Drug - They slow it down just a bit with this one. As he does in many of their great slower songs, Bono wears his heart in his throat on this one.
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own - U2 slows it down even more with this "One" replica. If you can keep yourself from singing along in your car to this one, your a better person than me (or more repressed anyway). :)
Love and Peace or Else - U2 goes big with this track. At the show, Bono got out the huge, handheld spotlight beam and scanned the crowd. Everytime I hear this one, I feel like I'm right back at the concert.
City of Binding Lights - Not a great song, in my opinion. But, still a good song that is great for parties or a lift if your feeling blue. The kind of song you put on when your getting ready to go out for a night on the town.
All Because of You - My least favorite song on the album. Still decent, but not much substance.
A Man and a Woman - Another song that I'm luke warm on. It's ok, but pales in comparison to some of the songs earlier on the ablum.
Crumbs From Your Table - Slow and sultry is how I'd describe this one. I still can't figure out who the extremely deep voice on backup vocals is. Good song and a little unlike most U2 recordings.
One Step Closer - Slowest track on the album. Perhaps not as good as some of the chilled out songs in U2's previous albums, but definitely a good, relaxed tune.
Original of the Species - This one made me look up "solarity" in the dictionary. Of course, I can't find it. Another mix of slow melody and heightend climax that really comes together well.
Yahweh - Great finisher. This one has gotten a decent amount of radio play. Not my favorite song, but enjoyable enough.
In summary, I feel this album is neck and neck with The Joshua Tree as the best U2 CD released to-date.

Good movie for both him and her
6 of 7 found this helpful If you like Adam Sandler (and Drew Barrymore), you'll love this movie. The Wedding Singer has some hysterical scenes mixed in with some sentamental 80's references.
I also loved the soundtrack in this movie. There are tons of great 80's songs and a few cameos by random "has beens".
Sandler is funny as always in this one, and Drew Barrymore plays her typical, likeable self.
While it was not the greatest movie ever, it's one for the collection (I think).

Good, basic phone
3 of 4 found this helpful My wife and I got these phones as part of our service renewal for Verizon.
Really like the aesthetics of this phone. Sound quality is good, screen resolution is clear, buttons are easy, etc. Because I got this phone for free (basically), I might be viewing it a little more positively than had I paid for it. I think they go for $150+ retail. Had I paid that much for it, I might not be as happy with it.
There is no speakerphone or blue tooth capability on this phone, and the camera is a typical (weak) phone cam.
In summary, this is a good, basic to intermediate phone. It has some bells and whistles, but ultimately, is just a decent phone.
